citizen of the United States, residing at Gallup, in the county ofMcKinley and State of New Mexico, have invented newand usefulImprovements 1n Lubricator-Fillers, of

a which the following is a pecification.

This invention relates to lubricator fillers and comprehends especiallythe provision of means for forcing oil from a reservoir or 011 Anotherobject of the invention resides in the provision of a lubricator fillercomprising an oil bowl through which is connected a compressedair pipefor forcing oil therefrom through a discharge pipe leading to the bowlof the lubricator and having a drain pipe which may be used as an oil orto any kind of lubricator.

water drain.

The invention also aims to provide a quick, satisfactory and eiiicientmeans for filling the oil bowls of locomotive lubricators to supplantthe old hand method of filling and thereby extract a great saving oftime.

With these and other objects in view, as

will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the inventionconsists in certain novel features of construction, combination andarrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described,illustrated and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation showing my lubricatorfilling means operatively connected to an engine lubricator and to thebrake valve of the locomotive air system.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the oil bowl of the fillerand its immediately associated parts.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view looking down against the top ofthe oil bowl of the filler, and

Fig. 4 1s a detail view, partly in section of one of the valves. 1

A compressed air pipe 17 is connected through a valve 18 to the body ofa brake valve 19 and is connected at its other end by a union 20 to anelbow pipe 21 making communication with the oil bowl 7 through the topcap thereof.

A drain pipe 22 is connected through the medium of the valve 23 andcoupling 24: to the drain nipple 5 of the engine lubricator. The otherend of the drain pipe is secured by a couplin nut or union 25 to a T 26.The stem of t e T is connected by a coupling 27 to a. valve 28 mountedon a nipple 29 communicating with the oil bowl 7 through the cap 8thereof.
